9.28.98 - GnomeNEWS You just heard about the latest "thing" from a press release (possibly on a "news" website). This "thing" promises to end all your "whatever" troubles--something you possibly couldn't live without. Of course, you're probably going to continue to live, regardless of whether you see the new "thing" or not. But it's hyped up SO MUCH that you can't possibly look away. So, you visit the site. And you don't see anything new. And you're not thrilled. Nothing new. I personally hate seeing "professional" websites that are poorly organized; when sites don't provide enough information, it's downright shameful. Or worse, yet: when I find so much junk in the way of anything useful. Nowadays, it seems like you can't visit even a personal site without being bombarded with advertisements. But when that's all I'm seeing anymore, there's something wrong. The Internet isn't about "making a buck"--it's about information. Don't get me wrong--I support those who need to make a living on and from the Internet. But, I'm afraid that if we lose focus of what made (and still makes) the Internet such a great thing, then we'll be visiting sites filled with more "fluff" than actual content. GnomePROGRAM Q-Sort 98 v1.0 [523k] FREE W9x I used to have nightmares that someone would ask me to name (in alphabetical order) the fifty states and their capitals. My mind is unfortunately not capable of that kind of power (perhaps I need to eat more brain food). Putting things in order is easy to do the first time, but if things keep getting out of order, that's when you need help to the Q power! With this fantastic little gadget, you can easily alphabetize your Start Menu in Windows 98 (or with IE4 running in Windows 95). You know, it's infamous for not arranging things the way you wanted to have them arranged. Keep those program groups in line (alphabetically) with the click of a button. Next time won't you sing with me? [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY Axialis AX Icons & Cursors v4.5.1 [2.3M] SW$20 W9x/NT4 Stop the presses! Icon creation and management just leaped into the 21st century thanks to Axialis Software. I didn't think it would be possible, but these two separate downloads (one specifically for icons and the other for cursors) have just about everything a user could want. Excellent UI, fast processing, several tools, configurable... and a darn decent price (not free, but DEFINITELY worth registering). I've made the switch to Axialis for all of my icon management. After you see it and use it, I'm sure you will, too. The author is open to feedback, so if you see anything else missing, feel free to let him know! [ DOWNLOAD 1 ] [ DOWNLOAD 2 ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE 1Jump -- Natural Language Web Navigation On the web, you're just a hop, skip, and a... jump away from the next killer web page. Many times, however, those URLs can get pretty confusing. Imagine if you ran into a site with more slashes than the average Freddy Krueger movie... and you can't remember it. But you might remember the company or product name! Jump over to this site and enter what you DO know into it's "rather unique" search engine. There's also a "Java 1Jump" and a "Windows 1Jump" if you would rather not use the all-too-familiar HTML interface. And if a site or product isn't listed, you can easily suggest it to the 1Jump team. They're one jump ahead! [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP FONT: Chain Letters [10k] I've complained about people who forward e-mail "scams" to friends & family members. This (however) is one set of chain letters that you should show your Net buddies. Create REAL links with your web graphics--use this linky font. There's such a thing as chain-mail armor, chain-link fences, so why not a chain letter font? If you blink, you might miss this link! [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
Icons are pretty darn cool, but they're used to represent
something (either a program or type of file). There's more
information in an icon than meets the eye. Just select one and hit
ALT+Enter and it should bring up a window with detailed
information (file size, date, type, location, attributes, etc.).
If you ALT+Enter on a Shortcut, it should show another tab
(wherein you can change the icon, location, etc.). Or, instead of
the key combo, you can hold onto the ALT key and double click on
an icon to see all that stuff.
